Nov 2010 Death Valley

[450 DUDE]

Took a trip south and stopped by DV for a couple days.
Got a late start and the first night we camped on the Little Walker river.

Entered Saline Via Steel pass . Dedeckera Cyn was a good challenge for my new rig , it did great.
Went up Lippincot (3rd time) and its in really bad condition, Had to stack rocks and fill one of the washouts to get the full size through.
Stayed @ the springs for 2 nights with beautiful weather!! Spent one more night in the park and it was time to go to see Walts rat....

nice pics Ken! Looks a lot more challenging w/ a tall, wide truck than the 80.
That camper sure looks comfortable, especially now that temps are dropping!

Sure would like to hear your impressions of the PW now that you've lived with it for a good long time.

^^^What he said Ken! Nice to be able to just turn the dial for heat isn't it?!

That first shot is awesome. How did the camper top do with all the washboard?

Yes the camper was super comfy with a big fridge nice bed and a heater. We were in it for 7 nights (our longest trip) and it was fine.

The camper rig combo were the big surprises off road, no hiccups. I did have to drive slower (good washboard=55 mph bad=25) the whole thing was rock solid.
I was sure I would incur some damage to the camper being so hard on it but the only casualties were : I had a hitch step that I did not flip while off pavement , that broke. and I just kissed the roof edge of the camper on a canyon wall (hind sight I should have dropped the bags)
I continue to be extra pleased with the Revo 2's they have been perfect.

James, the PW is growing on me as it continues to earn its keep and I further the mods $$$$! . The Milage still bites I averaged 10-11 on this trip with the camper.:snorkel:

Awesome to see it being used and know that you are happy with it. Glad to see it can handle Steel Pass.

Do you think different shock tuning would help with the washboard? I know it would be tough to valve for both empty/loaded.

Thanks for the fine photos. I've been looking at the Revo 2's also. What size did you go with?
